Pros

Pay is fair, although bonuses are delayed for 6-7 months for employee retention.

Cons

This is the business case for dysfunctional. Leadership is void. CEO is a myth. Even as an officer of the company I've never heard him speak in three years. "Town halls" are sales people blowing smoke, completely useless. CTO, CFO, COO, CHRO have no business running depts of these size, just the last person standing. No financial controls or processes, literally a banana republic. Tried to go public many times, but there's no way governance would support regulatory scrutiny. Stay away. The severance packages they've given those let go are a joke. If your company is acquired by this mess, run for the hills, you or everyone you know will be walked out the door.

Pros

-Really cool challenges to solve

Cons

-You won't have resources or support to solve cool challenges -Fear culture -CEO is Vista employee and hates the company (and everyone in it) -Not customer centric -Not employee centric -Big brother software monitors every keystroke I could fill this with stories of how bad the culture is and how poorly they treat employees and customers...but it's all already on here. Bottom line, this company is run by bankers who only focus on EDITDA and rule through fear. They want everyone to be afraid...part of the culture. Take any one of the thousands of employees out for a drink and you will struggle to find more than a handful that really likes this place. It's a brutal and punishing culture. Solera (and many Vista companies) succeed in a grey space between what is legal and what is moral. It's unfortunate that PE firms can buy a reasonable company, cut headcount by 30%, intimidate people into making up the difference. They have some window dressing about "high performance" and "diversity"...but I have worked at several large respected companies and this is just the worst I have ever seen. There are opportunities here. Solera cannot retain or recruit people in this place, so there will be opportunities. Just make sure you go into this with the right mindset.

Pros

Snack room was decent. It's sad that the snack room is the only pro I can think of.

Cons

Horrible structure. Rude leadership. Moved to different team because, brace yourselves, other people quit unexpectedly. HR was complacent when senior leaders made the place a hostile work environment. Contract was worded in such a vague way that the "bonus" would essentially never have to be paid. Just a real nightmare. I should've quit on my first day when they "asked" me to be in a different team than originally discussed.
